Welcome, friends, to the Tara Brock podcast. I'm so glad you're here.

Each week, I share teachings and guided meditations to help us awaken our hearts and bring healing

to our world.

You can learn more or support this offering by visiting tarabrock.com,

Now, let's explore together

the many ways we can live

from the love and presence that's our deepest

essence.

Namaste. We'll take just a few moments, if you will, to find your way of sitting or whatever

posture it is that supports you when you practice.

The basic guidelines are a way of being that you're upright enough so that you can feel alert and awake.

And also at ease.

And that at ease is really where I'd like to start right now, just to take some breaths.

It can help to collect and relax your attention, coming out of whatever has been going

on already today into the space of this moment.

And you might feel the in-breath and take it in a slow, full, deep way.

So you really feel it filling your chest and your lungs.

And then let the hour breath be slow

and a real releasing, a letting go, letting go.

And again, a nice full deep in breath.

Slow out breath.
